About Yumwoof
At Yumwoof, we're redefining pet wellness with science-backed, anti-inflammatory dog food made from real ingredients. We operate as a lean, fast-moving team where speed, craftsmanship, and pragmatic problem-solving drive our growth.
As our AI-Native Senior Fullstack Developer, you won't just write code—you will own products end-to-end. You will serve as the core technical engine for Yumwoof, translating high-level business goals directly into robust, production-ready software. By pairing elite fullstack engineering fundamentals with an AI-first workflow and exceptional communication, you will eliminate administrative middle layers and ship feature-rich experiences that directly impact thousands of pet parents.
- Lead with Impact: Directly drive revenue, conversion, and operational capability by shipping features across our entire digital ecosystem—from e-commerce touchpoints to backend APIs.
- Ship with Autonomy: Own features from initial napkin sketch to production. You will interact directly with business stakeholders, scope requirements cleanly, and execute without handoff friction.
- Leverage AI at Scale: Operate as an AI-native builder—using advanced AI workflows (Cursor, Copilot, custom agents, LLM code generation, and automated spec drafting) to multiply your personal output and maintain an elite execution velocity.
Role Overview
We are seeking a versatile, self-directed developer who thrives on end-to-end ownership. You will bridge the gap between business goals and technical architecture. Rather than relying on project managers or analysts to translate requirements or clear friction, you bring the commercial acumen and communication skills required to scope work directly with non-technical team members, set pragmatic expectations, and build elegant solutions fast.
You will operate at the intersection of product, engineering, and AI automation—maximizing feature throughput while keeping system architecture clean, scalable, and maintainable across our full technology stack.
What You’ll Do
- End-to-End Feature Ownership: Take complete accountability for features across the lifecycle—collaborating on initial business requirements, architecting database models, building APIs, developing UI components, and deploying to production.
- Direct Stakeholder Collaboration: Act as a proactive technical partner to marketing, operations, and leadership. Translate business objectives directly into technical solutions without relying on intermediaries or complex bureaucratic handoffs.
- AI-First Engineering: Embed modern AI tools natively into your day-to-day work (spec generation, rapid prototyping, code drafting, refactoring, test coverage, and debugging) to operate with the output capacity of a multi-person engineering pod.
- Fullstack Architecture & Maintenance: Write clean, maintainable, and performant code across our core stack (Shopify Liquid, Python/FastAPI, React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL).
- Pragmatic Requirement Scoping: Self-manage feature specs, backlog priorities, and technical trade-offs. Turn high-level ideas into clear technical plans using AI tools to speed up pre-development planning.
- Cross-Functional Communication: Frame technical constraints, tradeoffs, and timelines in clear, business-focused language, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned on project status and deliverables.
What We're Looking For
- Core Technical Experience: 4+ years of hands-on fullstack software engineering experience in fast-paced DTC, E-commerce, or high-growth startup environments.
- Proven Fullstack Mastery: Deep proficiency with our core tech stack:
- Frontend: React, TypeScript, and custom Shopify Liquid theme development.
- Backend & Data: Python (FastAPI framework), RESTful APIs, and PostgreSQL database management.
- AI-Native Development Expertise: Demonstrated mastery of modern AI coding environments (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude/GPT-4 for development, advanced prompting for architecture, and automated workflow agents) to significantly compress delivery cycles.
- Exceptional Communication & Commercial Acumen: Strong articulate communication skills. You can explain complex technical concepts simply, set clear cross-functional boundaries, and align technical choices with business revenue goals.
- Product & Business Mindset: You build for the user and the business outcome, not just for technical perfection. You understand e-commerce fundamentals (conversion rate, subscription workflows, order fulfillment APIs).
- Autonomy & Systems Thinking: Self-directed worker who proactively identifies system bottlenecks, cleans up technical debt, and improves overall developer workflows without needing step-by-step management.
Time Commitment
- Part-time: 20 hours per week

Application Question(s):
- Tell us about a complex, data-driven feature you owned end-to-end in a previous DTC or e-commerce environment. How did you approach designing the database schema (PostgreSQL), building out the API layer (Python/FastAPI), and executing the user experience (React/TypeScript or custom Shopify Liquid)?
- Describe a recent fullstack feature or project where you actively engineered your AI workflow (e.g., using Cursor, custom LLM agents, automated spec drafting, or multi-prompt architecture pipelines) to drastically compress the delivery cycle. What did your specific AI-human loop look like? Where did the AI excel, where did it hallucinate/fail, and how did your elite engineering fundamentals steer it back on track?
- How many years of experience do you have with React/TypeScript, and have you built or modified custom Shopify Liquid themes?
- How many years of experience do you have with Python (specifically FastAPI) and writing raw or ORM-driven queries in PostgreSQL?
